Try some point and click adventure games. I'd recommend the Broken Sword series :)

Most Ubisoft games have full French audio as well as subtitles.
May I suggest a movie franchise with that? Asterix is hilarious, et c'est aider avec mon Français aussie. (.. it's been a while)

Well... I am a native French speaker, and I just didn't get your sentence in French >.>
Anyway you're right with the rest of your post. Ubisoft is a French corp - even though their games are being made in China and Canada - and I assume their French translations are seamless.
Most of the Asterix movies are quite worth a watch, and the little puns are easy to get. Nice to learn French, but as a native speaker, I'll say there are better French movies... Most of De Funès's work is awesome. Have a look at La Grande Vadrouille.

I'm french, but I don't understand why you want to speak french, it's useless (for me)... English is more important, now I read books in english, watch movies in english, and play video games in english, it's much better I think...
Maybe it's because you are not french.

Same thing could be said for a lot of languages that are not English. Why not learn French if he wants to?

Reality is that French people are really, really bad at speaking English, they don't even know the most basic things.
Plus, I don't like France :)

Really, really bad. It's even worse, most of the time one can't even get what they say. In France, English classes are the best way to burst your eardrums.

That's because the education system in France is very bad. (English teachers mostly speak French in English course, really weird)

+1 for all of those.
And the Alan Wake's book pages are really worth it. Not only it's written in a natural and pleasant French, but also it's read with a correct voice.

I'll try to explain, i know French, i can read it and talk..

i just need to hear and read french to try to learn new words, i know i can read French news or listen French radio, but if i play for example an adventure game in French, i MUST fully understand what i read and what i hear if i want to progress..

it's much better if i read and hear French when i'm interested in what i'm doing

You could try the Runaway series. It's a point and click, and was dubbed in full french audio and subtitles, and pretty nicely voiced (the girl is the official dubber of all Cameron Diaz movies, so when she speaks, it's like Cameron Diaz speaking for us since we hear that voice when we see Cameron Diaz on the TV), and most of the cast are Hollywood or Us series professionnals dubbers). And the games are goods, and might be a little hard if you don't understand (because even when you understand you might get stuck).

Try Two Worlds 2, best french audio ever.

Videogames are a good way to improve your skill in a tongue, but I think you need some fundament before that. There are a lot of soft which teach languages

I recently encountered a friend playing the Witcher series in French. I think it's a brilliant way to keep your language skills from getting rusty!

Bientôt l’été, if you're into this kind of games. It's spoken only in French and has subtitles in other languages. Not promising a lot of stuff to read but if you like it you'll get feel for the dialogs it has.

Ubi games like the others say, and maybe Focus games, it's also a French editor, all their games (at least a huge majority) are available in French, I assume with a good quality of translation.

Hi, I'm from French Speaking Canada,
I'd recommand you to play "Remember Me", it's a pretty good game with decent graphics and was originally created in french.

If you really feel like investing a lot of time into putting yourself in a position where you need to properly understand the mission, I'd advise you to play Morrowind. While it could have been better translated (from memory), it's not bad. Can't say the audio is good.

If you have already played it, you know why. If you didn't, you'll need to read attentively every quest text because there are no markers like in the following games of the series and most recent titles.

Arcanum, Baldur's Gate and basically any RPG with a lot of dialogues lol.

Plenty of excellent french books, especially poetry,

and yes Louis de Funes movies are classics, try also movies with Bourvil, jean paul belmondo, Jean Gabin, Alain Delon,

La Haine is an excellent french movie but with very few dialogues.

Gerard Depardieu is ok in some movies like Colonel Chabert, Cyrano de Bergerac or the TV serie the Count of Monte Cristo.

Capitaine Conan is movie worth watching as well.

Watch also The Green Beautiful ( La Belle Verte )
